The Title IX which gave the opportunity for girls to play sports in high school and college is still a question whether or not is beneficial to a woman's life. Due to some researches some of the benefits that come along in playing sports for woman would mostly be lowering of teenage pregnancy, better grades, and higher self-esteem. Two economists have come up with some few answers that would eventually lead in proving that the improvements made in letting woman play would actually demonstrate that it could lead to educational, work, and health prospects. When the Title IX became enacted six years later the percentage of girls increased from 4 percent to 25 percent. Dr. Stevenson, an economist, showed how the participation of a girl can be affected with other factors which those factors would be school size, climate, social, and personal differences. With Dr. Stevenson taking a closer analysis of the presented data she had it showed that it had direct effect on girls in their education which the percentage was 20 and in employment 40 percent which rose for 25-34 year woman.
By the article mentioning that The Title IX which granted the opportunity for girls to play which the Title IX also provided the same opportunities to girls as they did to boys. The article itself intrigue me for the reasons that it seem that sports are not a waste a time as some parents come to believe and actually by girls participating in sports they actually come to have something that would be beneficial for them which that would include higher grades and just staying on task not worrying about anything else.
Pepsi, French fries, Snickers, sugary treats, or fatty food would be removed from the school programs. The reason for this rational move is due to the fact that children are getting obese especially during their school years. The first lady, Michelle Obama, is course taking measures in ensuring that children are giving and choosing the right meals at school and for this reason she is met with a republican from Georgia in which Mr. Chambliss stated that schools play an important role in children eating habits which didn't actually ensure that he was either supporting or not the idea of banning junk food in schools. In order for the banning of junk food to actually take place there of course has to be a legislation being passed on meaning that the legislation has to be approved in order for it to take affect. If the legislation was approved it would consist of bringing several changes in the school programs which could be of course costly in some manners. Reasons for the National School Lunch Program being started was due to the fact that in World War 2 there was some cases of malnutrition found, but now that is escalating into obesity.
The effort of trying to remove junk food out of school to me could be a struggle for the reasons that teenagers are accustomed in eating ice cream, cookies, and far more other treats. In some schools like the article mentions they have already started adding some new improvements school cafeteria by adding nutritious foods while in some the impact of the removal of sugary treats and fatty foods have being a shocked to some students since they are use to eating them. In my opinion this would be a great way for children to see and choose right meals that would of course be healthy for them.
Julianne Greenberg a radiologist spends most of her time staring earnestly into the room's only light which is basically three computers screens of images of women's breasts. She specializes in spotting the rare and sometimes, occasional tiny cancers in the breast tissue which you could say that this tiny cancers are "invisible." Greenberg searches for a "needle" in the delicately crisscross maze which she searches 4,000 images a day where she comes to find detect 20 images that would actually have cancer in them. If you were a baggage screener it could be difficult to actually detect a gun, knife, or bomb that could be tuck under a person's luggage. Wolfe experimented 20 X-rayed images of bags filled with guns and knifes which he mixed altogether with images that didn't had guns nor knifes which the percentage of someone missing both guns and knives was about 7 percent of the bags. In an other experiment he put the same exact 20 X-rayed images and stuck them in 2,000 bags where only 2 percent showed.
This article tells how something so obvious and so predictable can easily be missed by our own eyes which in my opinion our technology is not that quite efficient in detecting objects that of course we can't either which it shows that if we spent hours observing images that might or might not have cancer we might be missing them otherwise and when it comes to detect guns, knifes, or bombs we might be letting those person's that carry those equipments do their harm rather than preventing.
"Teen Drinking May Cause Irreversible Brain Damage"

Studies have shown that teens that drink usually had damaged nerve tissue rather than the teens that did not drank. Teens that drink which would include boys and girls would have negative affects in comprehending and interpreting visual information which of course the scientists believe. Adolescents brains are still undergoing growth in which the excessive amounts of drugs or alcohol could make the brain vulnerable to them. The use of alcohol could cause the immediate overturn of poor testing, as well as lacking importance in specific subjects, and of course the major problem would be choosing a wrong pathway that could eventually end their lives. By Tapert, a neuroscientist, imaging two groups of students which would include binge drinkers and an non-drinkers the results afterwards showed that the binge drinker had poor quality in of the brain's nerve tissue which indicated poor, inefficent communication between brain cells.
This specific article shows and gives a little more in depth in showing what occurs when teenagers drink excessuve amounts of alcohols which by the study that the scientists endure it explains that teens are damaging their own brains causing them to have less knowlegde which by the alcohol is tempering them to lose nerve tissue resulting in having less data for the future,
Reports from 2007 led to a conclusion that the Himalayan glaciers would be melting in 2035. At the center of this controversy a world's most famous climate change expert has asserted that the Himalayan glaciers would most likely melt in 2035. The obvious and most heard of cause for this conclusion is no other than Global Warming and if Earth continues ti warm up at this current rate the Himalayan glaciers would be disappearing at the estimate year 2035, or much sooner than expected. If the glaciers were to melt millions of people in the areas of India, Pakistan, and China would be the ones affected greatly if they were to melt. The conclusion that the scientists underwent through with the glaciers supposedly melting in 2035 was stated wrong and the only reason that some of the scientists kept it hidden was of course because of the money, control, and the power. A new theory was made that by the capacity that the glaciers are melting which is not really fast enough they would not be able to melt around the year 2035.
The author was crucial in giving the specific information that would be most important in this article as the author mentions Global Warming is becoming a major problem for us that is leading to some causes such as the melting of glaciers in which it could turn out in harming us in the upcoming years if we don't start acting soon with some precautions.
